This is a small (but growing!) list of sites related to the history of psychology. As you write your paper, I recommend that you check these sites out. However, please do not use these sites as your ONLY source - you still need to spend some time in the libary. Check out this web site or the APA site for information on how to cite web pages. Please note: If you are going to use web sites, you must reference them. Also, don't make the assumption that all web sites are acceptable. You must learn to separate the wheat from the chaff. Just because the site looks pretty doesn't mean the author has a clue about the subject he or she is posting. Check the University of Georgia site and the Widener University site for more help on this process. For general information on APA style writing, go to Need Help With APA Style?
C. Green's Website Once here, go to Relevant Links. This site has a number of good links to other stuff, but I really recommend that you take a look at the classic works (underneath history and philosopy). These are the original writing, papers, and books by the people that we will be discussing in class. There are an amazing number of articles and books on-line. You can also link to APA's Division 26 (History of Psychology)
For a site that focuses on women in psychology, check out Dr. L. Woolf's site created by her students. Diotima focuses on women in the ancient world.
In class, I stated that I had a book of various events in psychology.

descriptions of various events related to psychology. The full reference
